Definitions
- the present invention is directed to filter media having microbiological interception capability, filtration systems containing such filter media, and methods of making and using same.
- Modern consumer water filters often provide “health claims” including reduction of particulates, heavy metals, toxic organic chemicals, and select microbiological threats. These filtration systems have been able to intercept microorganisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia using roughly 1.0 micron structures. However, in order to provide microbiological interception of even smaller microbiological threats such as viruses, a filter medium having a sub-micron microporous structure is required. Prior art filtration systems often attempt to achieve broad microbiological interception using filter media with insufficiently small pore size and with poor physical integrity. The balance between the necessary pore structure required for successful microbiological interception and satisfactory filter performance has not been achieved.
- the present invention is directed to, in a first aspect, a filter medium comprising: a microporous structure comprising an array of active particles, the microporous structure having a mean flow path of less than about 2 microns; and a microbiological interception enhancing agent comprising a cationic material having a medium to high charge density and a molecular weight greater than about 5000 Daltons, adsorbed on at least a portion of the microporous structure, and a biologically active metal in direct proximity to the cationic material and also on at least a portion of the microporous structure.
- the present invention is directed to a filter system comprising: a housing having an inlet and an outlet; a filter medium situated within the housing in fluid communication with the inlet and outlet, the filter medium comprising: a microporous structure having a mean flow path of less than about 2 microns comprising active particles of activated carbon, activated alumina, zeolites, diatomaceous earth, silicates, aluminosilicates, titanates, bone char, calcium hydroxyapatite, manganese oxides, iron oxides, magnesia, perlite, talc, polymeric particulates, clay, iodated resins, ion exchange resins, ceramics, or combinations thereof; and a microbiological interception enhancing agent comprising a cationic material having a high charge density, a molecular weight greater than about 5000 Daltons and having an associated counter ion therewith, the cationic material adsorbed on at least a portion of the microporous structure, and wherein a
- the present invention is directed to a process of making a filter medium having enhanced microbiological interception capability comprising the steps of: providing active particles having an average particle size of about 0.1 microns to about 5,000 microns; treating the active particles with a microbiological interception enhancing agent comprising a cationic material having a high charge density and a molecular weight greater than about 5000 Daltons in combination with a biologically active metal; and forming the treated active particles into a microporous structure having a mean flow path of less than about 2 microns.
- the present invention is directed to a process of making a filter medium having enhanced microbiological interception capability comprising the steps of: providing active particles having an average particle size of about 0.1 microns to about 5,000 microns;
- microporous structure having a mean flow path of less than about 2 microns; and treating the microporous structure with a microbiological interception enhancing agent comprising a cationic material having a high charge density and a molecular weight greater than about 5000 Daltons in combination with a biologically active metal.
- a microbiological interception enhancing agent comprising a cationic material having a high charge density and a molecular weight greater than about 5000 Daltons in combination with a biologically active metal.
- the present invention is directed to a method of removing microbiological contaminants from a fluid comprising the steps of providing a filter medium comprising a microporous structure comprising active particles and having a mean flow path of less than about 2 microns; and a microbiological interception enhancing agent comprising a cationic material having a medium to high charge density and a molecular weight greater than about 5000 Daltons in combination with a biologically active metal, adsorbed on at least a portion of the microporous structure; contacting a microbiologically contaminated fluid to the filter medium for a period of time of less than or equal to about 12 seconds; and obtaining an effluent having greater than about 4 log reduction of microbiological contaminants.
- FIG. 1 is a graph plotting the empty bed contact time versus the log reduction values of MS2 bacteriophage of the microbiological interception enhanced activated carbon filter medium of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 of the drawings In describing the preferred embodiment of the present invention, reference will be made herein to FIG. 1 of the drawings.
- absorbent shall mean any material that is capable of drawing a substance into its inner structure.
- absorbent shall mean any material that is capable of drawing a substance to its surface by physical means and without any covalent bonding.
- binder shall mean a material used principally to hold other materials together.
- contaminant reduction shall mean attenuation of an impurity in a fluid that is intercepted, removed, and/or rendered inactive, chemically, mechanically or biologically, in order to render the fluid safer as, for example, for human use, or more useful as in industrial applications.
- empty bed contact time or “EBCT” shall mean a measure of how much contact occurs between particles, such as, for example, activated carbon, and a fluid as the fluid flows through the bed of particles.
- fiber shall mean a solid that is characterized by a high aspect ratio of length to diameter of, for example, several hundred to one. Any discussion of fibers shall also be deemed to include whiskers.
- filter medium shall mean a material that performs fluid filtration.
- fluid shall mean a liquid, gas, or combination thereof.
- cept or “interception” are taken to mean interfering with, or stopping the passage of, so as to affect, remove, inactivate or influence.
- log reduction value shall mean the logio of the number of organisms in the influent divided by the number of organisms in the effluent after passing through a filter.
- metal shall mean to include the salts, colloids, precipitates, base metal, and all other forms of a given metallic element.
- microbiological interception enhanced filter medium shall mean a filter medium having a microporous structure where at least a portion of the microporous structure is treated with a microbiological interception enhancing agent.
- microbiological interception enhancing agent shall mean a cationic material having a counter ion associated therewith in combination with a biologically active metal.
- microorganism shall mean any living organism that can be suspended in a fluid, including but not limited to, bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and reproductive forms thereof including cysts and spores.
- microporous structure shall mean a structure that has a mean flow path less than about 2.0 microns, and often less than about 1.0 micron.
- natural organic matter or “NOM” shall mean organic matter often found in potable or non-potable water, a portion of which reduces or inhibits the streaming, or zeta, potential of a positively charged filter medium.
- NOM are polyanionic acids such as, but not limited to, humic acid and fulvic acid.
- nonwoven means a web or fabric or other medium having a structure of individual fibers that are interlaid, but not in a highly organized manner as in a knitted or woven fabric.
- Nonwoven webs generally can be prepared by methods that are well known in the art. Examples of such processes include, but are not limited to, and by way of illustration only, meltblowing, spunbonding, carding, and air laying.
- particle shall mean a solid having a size range from colloidal to macroscopic, and with no specific limitation on shape, but generally of a limited length to width ratio.
- prefilter shall mean a filter medium generally located upstream from other filtration layers, structures or devices and capable of reducing particulate contaminants prior to the influent contacting subsequent filtration layers, structures or devices.
- whisker shall mean a filament having a limited aspect ratio and intermediate between the aspect ratio of a particle and a fiber. Any discussion of fibers shall also be deemed to include whiskers.
- a filter medium of the present invention has a microporous structure that provides microbiological interception capability using a combination of an appropriate pore structure and a chemical treatment.
- the microporous structure comprises an array of active particles that have a specific pore structure, as well as adsorbent and/or absorbent properties.
- the array can be a solid composite block, a monolith, a ceramic candle, a flat-sheet composite of bonded or immobilized particles formed into a coherent medium using a binder or supporting fibers, and the like. These particle arrays can be made through processes known in the art such as, for example, extrusion, molding, or slip casting.
- the chemical treatment process used to treat the surface of the microporous structure utilizes a synergistic interaction between a cationic material and a biologically active metal, that when combined, provide broad-spectrum reduction of microbiological contaminants on contact.
- the charge provided by the cationic material to the filter medium aids in electro-kinetic interception of microbiological contaminants, while the tight pore structure provides a short diffusion path and, therefore, rapid diffusion kinetics of microbiological contaminants in a flowing fluid to a surface of the microporous structure.
- the microporous structure also provides supplemental direct mechanical interception of microbiological contaminants. Due to the dominant role of diffusion for the interception of extremely small particles, there is a direct correlation between the log reduction value of viral particles and the contact time of the influent within the filter medium, rather than a dependence upon the thickness of the filter medium.
- the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium of the present invention has a mean flow path of less than about 2 microns, and more preferably less than or equal to about 1 micron. If the mean flow path is greater than about 2 microns, then the diffusion efficiency of viral particles rapidly declines and efficient biological interception fails.
- the volume of the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium of the present invention compared to the flow rate of fluid through the filter medium must be sufficient to provide a contact time adequate for the contaminants to diffuse to a surface of the filter medium.
- At least a portion of the microporous structure is coated with a cationic material to produce a positive charge on at least a portion of such microporous structure.
- the cationic material is of sufficient molecular size to prevent fouling of the micro-pores and mezo-pores of the active particles.
- Natural organic matter such as polyanionic acids, i.e., humic acid or fulvic acid, that can reduce or remove the charge on the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium, is preferably prevented from contacting the charged microporous structure through the use of an adsorbent prefilter that substantially removes the NOM. It is possible to incorporate the NOM removing material directly into the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium, thereby eliminating the need for a separate adsorbent prefilter. Also, depending on the type of active particles used, the upstream portion of the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium itself can naturally reduce or remove NOM as well and prevent a loss of performance of the downstream portions of the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium.
- NOM Natural organic matter
- the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium be made with hydrophilic materials or treated with a wetting agent to provide good, spontaneous wettability.
- the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium can be treated to provide either a hydrophilic or hydrophobic characteristic as needed.
- the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium can have both positively and negatively charged and uncharged regions, and/or hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions.
- the negatively charged regions can be used to enhance the interception of less common positively charged contaminants and uncharged hydrophobic regions can be used to provide enhanced interception of contaminants that are attracted to hydrophobic surfaces.
- the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium having enhanced microbiological interception capabilities of the present invention comprises an array of adsorbent and/or absorbent active particles having a particle size distribution of 80 ⁇ 325 mesh with about 20% to about 24% pan (particles smaller than ⁇ 325 mesh).
- the active particles can include, but are not limited to, activated carbon, activated alumina, zeolites, diatomaceous earth, silicates, aluminosilicates, titanates, bone char, calcium hydroxyapatite, manganese oxides, iron oxides, magnesia, perlite, talc, polymeric particulates, clay, iodated resins, ion exchange resins, ceramics, super absorbent polymers (SAPs), and combinations thereof.
- a microbiological interception enhanced filter medium having requisite properties can be obtained by combining one or more of these active particles.
- One preferred microporous structure comprises active particles of activated carbon that naturally resist fouling by NOM and is efficient at adsorbing the potentially interfering NOM in peripheral regions of the microporous structure while protecting inner regions.
- the activated carbon is acid washed bituminous coal-based activated carbon.
- Commercially available activated carbon suitable for use in the present invention can be obtained from Calgon Carbon Corporation of Pittsburgh, Penn., under the trade designation TOG-NDS or from California Carbon Company of Wilmington, Calif., under the trade designation 1240ALC.
- the active particles are comprised of acid washed bituminous coal-based activated carbon from Calgon Carbon Corporation, having a particle size distribution as follows: about 3% to about 7%, preferably about 5%, 80 mesh size particles; about 12% to about 18%, preferably about 15% 100 mesh; about 44% to about 50%, preferably 47% 200 mesh; about 8% to about 14%, preferably about 11% 325 mesh; and about 20% to about 24% pan, preferably about 22% pan.
- the active particles of the microporous structure are chemically treated with a microbiological interception enhancing agent capable of creating a positive charge on the surface of the active particles.
- the chemical treatment produces a strong positive charge upon the treated surfaces as measured using streaming potential analysis and this positive charge is retained at pH values below 10.
- a cationic metal complex is formed on at least a portion of the surface of the active particles by treating the active particles with a cationic material.
- the cationic material may be a small charged molecule or a linear or branched polymer having positively charged atoms along the length of the polymer chain.
- the charge density is preferably greater than about 1 charged atom per about every 20 Angstroms, preferably greater than about 1 charged atom per about every 10 Angstroms, and more preferably greater than about 1 charged atom per about every 5 Angstroms of molecular length.
- the higher the charge density on the cationic material the higher the concentration of the counter ion associated therewith.
- a high concentration of an appropriate counter ion can be used to drive the precipitation of a metal complex.
- the high charge density of the cationic polymer provides the ability to adsorb and significantly reverse the normal negative charge of active particles such as carbon.
- the cationic material should consistently provide a highly positively charged surface to the microporous structure as determined by a streaming or zeta potential analyzer, whether in a high or low pH environment.

- the MBGDA may or may not crosslink the PHMB to the microporous structure.
- the cationic material is exposed to a biologically active metal salt solution such that the metal complex precipitates onto at least a portion of the surface of at least some of the active particles.
- the metals that are biologically active are preferred.
- biologically active metals include, but are not limited to, silver, copper, zinc, cadmium, mercury, antimony, gold, aluminum, platinum, palladium, and combinations thereof.

- the silver-amine-halide complex precipitates on at least a portion of the active particles of the microporous structure of the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium.
- the cationic material preferably has a high charge density and a sufficiently high molecular weight to create a strong attraction and high coordination energy with the negatively charged surface groups of activated carbon.
- the enhanced interception using the charged surface of the activated carbon, in the presence of a colloid of a biologically active metal, is supplemented by the hydrophobic adsorption mechanism of the activated carbon. This hydrophobic mechanism is generally resistant to the impact of fouling by NOM, and is actually more effective under conditions of high ionic strength. Untreated portions of the carbon surface, with their oxygen-rich chemistry, tend to have a negative charge that can continue to adsorb positively charged particles.
- the combination of positive, negative, and hydrophobic surfaces presents a nearly insurmountable barrier for small particles to navigate.

- the precipitation process accurately deposits the majority of the metal colloid directly adjacent to the cationic coating because the counter-ion associated with this coating reacts with the applied metal salt to form the colloidal particles.
- the metal salt can be sprayed onto the treated particles or otherwise applied using methods known to one of skill in the art. Solutions of the cationic material and the metal salt are preferably made with nearly ion-free water so that the counter-ions associated with the cationic material are drawn tightly against the cationic surface of the treated active particles and to eliminate unwanted ions that may cause uncontrolled precipitation of the biologically active metal into sites remote from the cationic surface.
- the moisture content should be less than about 10%, and more preferably less than about 5%, if the particles are to be subsequently extruded or molded using a thermoplastic binder.
- the active particles are ground to the desired size and potentially mixed with the binder material to form a homogenous mixture prior to immobilizing the active particles into a desired final form having the required microporous structure.
- the binder is chosen such that the melting point of the binder material is sufficiently lower than the melting point of the active particles so that the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium can be heated to activate the binder material, while the microporous structure does not melt and thereby lose porosity.
- the binder particles are preferably sufficiently evenly distributed throughout the active particles such that later, upon conversion to the microporous structure, the binder particles will entrap or bond to substantially all the active particles.

- polystyrenes such as polystyrenes and acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, styrene-butadiene copolymers, and other non-crystalline or amorphous polymers and structures.

It is preferable that the binder material have a softening point that is significantly lower than a softening point of the active particles so that the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium can be heated to activate the binder material, while the microporous structure does not melt and thereby lose porosity.
- the amount of binder material used is dependent upon how the microporous structure is formed whether by extrusion, molding, or other processes.
- the binder material when the active particles are extruded or molded into a solid composite block, the binder material is preferably present in an amount of about 15% to about 22% by weight, and more preferably about 17% to about 19% by weight of the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium.
- the binder material is preferably present in an amount of about 5% to about 20%, and preferably about 9% to about 15% by weight of the total composition.
- One or more additives either in a particulate, fiber, whisker, or powder form may also be mixed with the active particles to aid in adsorption or absorption of other contaminants or participate in the formation of the microporous structure and interception of microbiological contaminants.
- Useful additives may include, but are not limited to, metallic particles, activated alumina, activated carbon, silica, polymeric powders and fibers, glass beads or fibers, cellulose fibers, ion-exchange resins, engineered resins, ceramics, zeolites, diatomaceous earth, activated bauxite, fuller's earth, calcium sulfate, other adsorbent or absorbent materials, or combinations thereof.
- the additives can also be chemically treated to impart microbiological interception capabilities depending upon the particular application. Such additives are preferably present in a sufficient amount such that the fluid flow in the resultant microbiological interception enhanced filter medium is not substantially impeded when used in filtration applications. The amount of additives is dependent upon the particular use of the filtration system.
- the final microporous structure can be formed by slip casting or wet-forming the particles or fibers or such mixtures and subsequently causing binders or particles to sinter the ingredients together.
- the particles can form their own binder as in bi-component fibers or low melting point resins.
- the binder can be water soluble or cross-linkable resins or salts that when allowed to dry, or heated, or allowed to react, form the required bonds.

- Porometry studies were performed with an Automated Capillary Flow Porometer available from Porous Materials, Inc., Ithaca, N.Y. Parameters determined, using standard procedures published by the equipment manufacturer, include mean flow pore size and gas (air) permeability. The flow of air was assayed at variable pressure on both the dry and wet microbiological interception enhanced filter medium.
- Bacterial challenges of the microbiological interception enhanced filter media were performed using suspensions of Escherichia coli of the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) No. 11775 to evaluate the response to a bacterial challenge.
- the response to viral challenges was evaluated using MS2 Bacteriophage ATTC No. 15597-Bi.
- Other microorganisms tested include Brevundimonas diminuta ATCC No. 4335 , Bacillus subtilis , also known as BG, ATCC No. 9375.
- the Standard Operating Procedures of the ATCC were used for propagation of the bacterium and bacteriophage, and standard microbiological procedures, as well known in the art, were used for preparing and quantifying the microorganisms in both the influent and effluent of filters challenged with suspensions of the microorganisms.
- Activated carbon block filters having enhanced microbiological interception capability were prepared as follows. Twenty (20) pounds of 12 ⁇ 40 mesh acid-washed bituminous-coal-based activated carbon, obtained from Calgon Carbon Company, was gently mixed with a solution of 3% MERQUAT® 100 in de-ionized water to thoroughly coat the carbon particles and ensure that the MERQUAT® 100 had adsorbed onto at least a portion of the carbon particles. Thereafter, a solution of silver nitrate, 70 g crystalline silver nitrate in 1.0 L de-ionized water, was added to the MERQUAT® treated carbon to allow precipitation of the silver on at least a portion of the surface of the carbon particles in the form of silver chloride colloid.
- the treated carbon particles were dried at 135° C. until there was less than 5% moisture present in the carbon particles. Drying times varied between about 3 to about 5 hours.
- the dried carbon was ground in a double-roll grinder to 80 ⁇ 325 mesh size with approximately 14% by weight ⁇ 325 mesh pan, and was mixed with FN510, a low density polyethylene binder material, at approximately 17% by weight.
- the mixture was extruded under suitable heat, pressure and temperature conditions, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,019,311.
- Resulting carbon block filters of various sizes were used to construct water filter systems by applying suitable end caps using a hot melt resin, as is well known in the art.
- the filters were assayed for microbiological interception performance under initial clean conditions and then at intervals following dirt accumulation where the flow was reduced by 25%, 50% and 75% in comparison to the flow rate measured on the original, clean filter.
- Nominal test dust is a silicate powder with particles roughly 0 to 5.0 microns in diameter and having 96% by weight of the particles in this range and 20% to 40% of the particles greater than 2.5 microns.
- RO/DI reverse osmosis/deionized
- the efficacy of the microbiological interception enhanced filter medium of the present invention is shown in Tables I and II below.
- the microbiological interception enhanced activated carbon block filter medium of the present invention provides greater than 8 log reduction of larger organisms such as B. diminuta, E. coli and B. subtilis . In fact, interception of these organisms was beyond the sensitivity of the test protocol in all cases.
- the results for MS2 penetration show no apparent correlation between wall thickness and levels of interception. This indicates that a traditional mechanical interception mechanism is not responsible for MS2 interception.
- EBCT empty bed contact time
- FIG. 1 shows a substantially linear relationship between the initial, clean filter log MS2 reduction and the EBCT of the filter indicating a diffusive interception mechanism with a requirement of approximately 6 seconds EBCT in order to achieve effective reduction of this bacteriophage in a microbiological interception enhanced filter medium having a mean flow path of about 0.9 to about 1.1 microns. For this reason, larger filters operating at lower flow rates perform more efficiently than small filters operating at elevated flow rates.
